Not every blog post you publish will rank in search engines. Even if you\u2019ve done keyword research<\/a>\u00a0and written great content<\/a>, it\u2019s not always possible to get things right on your first attempt.<\/div>\n

For example, we published a post about \u201cwhat is SEO<\/a>\u201d in late 2018. It wasn\u2019t a complete failure, but it never ranked higher than the bottom of page one or got more than an estimated 500 organic visits per\u00a0month.<\/p>\n

So, in August 2019, we rewrote and republished the post. Traffic pretty much doubled overnight and kept climbing.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve done this several times with positive results. If you look at the number of republished posts on the blog in Ahrefs\u2019 Content Explorer<\/a>, you\u2019ll see that we\u2019ve republished 75 of our 200+ posts at least\u00a0once.<\/p>\n

In this guide, you\u2019ll learn how to republish old blog posts for more organic traffic in three easy\u00a0steps.<\/p>\n

  1. Find underperforming pages with content issues<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Refresh the content<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Republish the\u00a0post<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
